i really feel sorry for those that don't find this funny. it must suck to be so serious. i am a 44 year old woman (i am? yikes!) and if any of those things had been done to me - i would've laughed just as hard as i did watching them done to others. just take a deep breath, relax and lighten up for goodness sakes. life is fun!
on a semi-related note...my doctor's name is Dr Forrester. whenever i say his name it makes me giggle because, in my head, i'm adding, "...and TV's Frank".
hi License Farm! i agree about the electric shock question. i remembered it mentioned that the air to the bridge was cut off. but the question didn't give that option and i knew there was some penalty - so i just picked that one. in fairness, i also guessed at the "Who hasn't puplicly proclaimed their love of MST".
oh, i forgot to add that there are also the 4 movies riffed by The Film Crew which consisted of mike, bill (crow) and kevin (servo). you can find those on Amazon.com.
ack! 100% here...but that's because i am a HUGE fan. i've got every ep on tape/dvd. i have checked out RiffTrax.com and i really like it. love it, in fact. also, Joel, Trace, Mary Jo, J. Elvis and TV's Frank are riffing movies over at CinematicTitanic.com. it's doubtful that there we will ever have MST back, as it was - but these are the next best things. enjoy, won't you?
a big fat LOL for the “Penny for a gumball Mickey!" post. my husband and i quote that commercial all the time - but we quote this part...whenever one has some cash in hand.
i agree thomas. if the guy had purposely bought it for cheap knowing that it was worth a lot, then i'd say he was a rat. but really, $350 isn't like stealing it out from under the guy for $5. if it were me, and i had bought it for $350 and sold it $100k - i would give some of the profit to the original owner just to be nice. but i don't think there is any obligation to do so. plus, super cool that he's donating it to the Smithsonian....i'd sell it!
they used to show us this movie in school in the 70's. they showed it a LOT and most to the time they'd show The Magic Rolling Board - a skateboarding movie - along with it. i must've seen it 20 times. i guess the teachers would get sick of us and...they'd roll in that old projector, turn off the lights and leave us to watch the movies. good times.....
i agree with you, nicholas, that the kid won't be scarred for life. still, it is an unusual thing to do with a child that isn't your own. i would think that that bond belongs to the mother and the child and no one else. breastfeeding is a wonderful, beautiful, healthy thing - but i don't think it is any of those things when done by someone else and without permission from the mother. why would the grandmother do that? i'm definitely not one to see bad motives everywhere - and i don't see one here. i just think that it's very odd.

kid #1 "what're you gonna do with all that money?
kid #2 "buy more gumballs!"

still,i must agree with thunk...it prolly does taste like chicken. little tiny, furry chickens.
also, the cameraman's shadow looks like it's floating. although i doubt that he really is.
very funny on his side though - what kind of idiot lets his hand get stabbed for an hour?
